Imoh Ezekiel, a 19-year-old Nigerian striker, has been making a significant impact in the Belgian football scene, playing for Standard de Liège. Since joining the club in the winter of 2012, he has rapidly become one of its key players.
Ezekiel’s goal-scoring prowess is noteworthy, having scored 16 goals in 31 appearances last season and adding 4 goals in 10 matches this season. Additionally, he has contributed 2 goals in five Europa League matches. His impressive performances have garnered attention from various clubs, including Olympique de Marseille, AS Monaco, Lille, Anzhi, Zenit, CSKA Moscow, and AS Roma.
There is also interest from the Belgian national team, as the Belgian federation is reportedly considering naturalizing Ezekiel to make him available for the Belgian national team. Despite being approached by the Nigerian national team, Ezekiel has allegedly declined, opening the possibility of representing Belgium in the future.
Standard Liège, where Ezekiel currently plays, secured a valuable asset at a relatively low cost, signing him for 300,000 euros. As his performances continue to shine, his market value is expected to increase significantly.
